"You better be sensible, brat, or I'll kill you on the spot, even if it means I'll be severely injured and unable to recover!" a wounded Hunyuan Realm expert from the Zhao family stepped forward, his voice filled with rage.
"Just you? I doubt that's enough. How about you try?" Zhang Yang sneered dismissively.
After speaking, he even beckoned the other party with a flick of his finger.
"Come chase me and see if I don't lead you right to another team. Then you'll see what happens to you."
This!
Zhang Yang's words struck their soft spot again, directly enraging the other party to the point of spitting out a mouthful of blood.
What kind of trouble had they gotten themselves into, to encounter someone so troublesome!
"Second brother, leave this to me!"
At this moment, another Hunyuan Realm expert from the Zhao family stepped forward and said.
"What exactly do you want? Speak!"
As soon as this was said.
The spectators on the ship couldn't help but exclaim.
"What! The Zhao family is backing down! Good heavens, am I dreaming? They are a martial arts family from Linhai!"
"Amazing, the Zhao family is one of the top ten martial arts families in Linhai City, and they're scared off by a young man from a martial arts school?"
"This is big news. If the other martial arts families on the deserted island find out, they'll probably be laughed at for a lifetime."
"..."
The leader of the Zhao family also knew the current situation. Everyone on the ship knew.
But!
Given the current circumstances, he had no choice but to back down.
He could only blame this kid in front of him for being too strange.
He wouldn't fight them head-on, but would instead lead them to other people's resting places, making them act as their henchmen.
If this continued, the Zhao family wouldn't even be able to survive tonight, let alone make it into the top ten.
Therefore, he didn't feel there was anything wrong with backing down.
"Then you should apologize to me first. Perhaps if I'm in a good mood, I won't pursue your responsibility," Zhang Yang said with a smile.
"Apologize to you, and you won't hold us accountable?" the leader of the Zhao family asked.
"That depends on your sincerity. If you kneel down and apologize, I definitely won't pursue it," Zhang Yang continued to smile.
This!
The members of the Zhao family were instantly enraged upon hearing Zhang Yang's provocation!
Kneel down and apologize!
This was clearly an attempt to trample on the dignity of the Zhao family!
The experts of the Zhao family were about to curse out loud, but fortunately, the leader quickly stopped them.
"We can apologize, but kneeling is out of the question. Don't forget that everyone on the ship can see what's happening here. If you go too far, it won't be good for the martial arts school behind you!" the leader of the Zhao family said.
These words, which were half threat and half intimidation, made Zhang Yang's eyes narrow.
"Are you threatening me? Do you think I'd be afraid after coming this far?"
"Then at worst, our Zhao family won't compete for the top ten spots this year. We can just part ways! We'll announce our withdrawal from the competition right now and start by dealing with your martial arts school!"
The leader of the Zhao family also said stubbornly.
Instantly.
Zhang Yang fell silent.
The other party's words forced him to carefully consider.
If he were to reveal his strength now, the members of the Zhao family would be no match for him.
However, to conceal himself and protect the Tianying Martial Arts School,
Zhang Yang could only endure it for now.
"I have to say, your threat worked, but an apology is still necessary. That's just how I am. If you don't agree, we can just part ways!" Zhang Yang said in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, the leader of the Zhao family felt a wave of relief.
He was afraid that Zhang Yang would not back down or agree.
If it was just an apology, then it would be fine. Losing some face to preserve their spot in the competition was acceptable.
"I'm sorry."
Without hesitation, the leader of the Zhao family bowed halfway and said to Zhang Yang.
Zhang Yang, upon hearing this, looked at them with a cold smile.
"Very well, I'll see you tomorrow. Get some good rest. When dawn breaks, I'll have a big surprise prepared for you."
After speaking, Zhang Yang disappeared into the darkness.
Seeing this, the members of the Zhao family immediately lay down on the beach, relaxing.
It's true that it's easier to provoke the King of Hell than to deal with a petty ghost. Zhang Yang was a prime example.
The Zhao family even regretted provoking Zhang Yang at night.
But regret was useless, and they all hurried to rest.
Only the two Hunyuan Realm experts of the Zhao family, with grim expressions, huddled together.
They had to prepare for Zhang Yang's words.
This kid's promised surprise was probably not that simple.
...
With Zhang Yang's commotion over, the entire night passed quietly.
People on the ship gradually closed their eyes and rested.
When the second day dawned, it was unclear who first let out a cry of surprise, waking up everyone who was resting in their chairs.
"Quick, look! This kid really prepared a surprise for the Zhao family early in the morning. Look what he's doing."
Upon hearing this, everyone turned their gaze to the big screen.
They saw Zhang Yang running around early in the morning, spreading news about the Zhao family.
"The Zhao family is in trouble. They are severely injured, and more than half of their island landing personnel were lost last night. Now is the best time to eliminate the Zhao family. If you miss it, it will be too late."
"Wake up, everyone, don't sleep. Otherwise, when the Zhao family actively finds you, you won't have a chance. Everyone needs to unite!"
"What? You don't know where the Zhao family is? Come, come with me, I'll take you there."
"..."
Early in the morning, Zhang Yang seemed to have transformed into a young newsboy.
He ran to the hiding places of the other teams, spreading the news about the Zhao family.
For a time.
This also piqued the interest of the teams that were not martial arts families.
In previous years.
The top ten spots in the Linhai Martial Arts Competition were always dominated by the martial arts families of Linhai.
They also wanted to break this curse, but they were simply no match for the opponents' strength.
And over time, they were even less of a match for these top ten martial arts families.
So...
Zhang Yang's news was very tempting to them.
In a short while, Zhang Yang had gathered a large group of people.
All these people followed Zhang Yang towards the beach where the Zhao family was resting.
This!
Everyone on the ship was stunned.
Can this martial arts competition be played like this?
"Haha, this kid is really interesting. If his identity is not an issue, we can accept him regardless of whether he makes it into the top ten!"
"I agree. Such a person is indeed a talent. If we ever turn against Huaguo, and train him as a vanguard, he will undoubtedly advance fearlessly!"
"Zhu Tai, send someone to investigate and see who he is."
...
Clearly.
Zhang Yang's performance over the past two days and one night had completely captured their attention.
Whether it was his talent, combat strength, or strategy, they were all very satisfied.
If his identity had no issues, they would recruit him.
...
While everyone was marveling,
Zhang Yang had already led people to the Zhao family.
This time, he brought a total of five teams.
There were three or four Hunyuan Realm experts, not to mention the rest of the Zhenyuan Realm!
Zhang Yang let out a loud laugh.
"Hahaha, you're still sleeping? Hurry up and get up, I've brought you a surprise!"
